Day 19 2015 WSOP: Monster Stack Still in Action, the Deuce Led by Dan Smith

The 2015 World Series of Poker's day 19 saw two new events start, no bracelet winners, the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship played to a final table, and two Day 1 Monster Stack fields were narrowed down to a Day 2 starting field.

Let's take a run through the recap:

Event #29: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship

Event #29: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship began with a prize pool of $723,800 built by 77 players. Day 2 action dropped the field to 32 and when the day ran out, six remained. Dan Smith bagged 661,000 to claim the dubious title of chip leader.

Players to watch include Nick Schulman(554,000), who has won the event two times before, Jon Turner (439,000), Erik Seidel (265,000), Phil Galfond (255,000), and Eli Elezra (160,000.

Event #30: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em

Event #30: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em saw 235 still in the field after 11 levels of play out of the 2,150 who started the day. A piece of the $1,935,900 prize pool will go to those who make it to the 216th position and higher. The winner will take home $353,391. Chris Hinchcliffe has a big lead with 206,000 chips and could be a favorite.

$3,000 PLO 8 Draws 480

The 2015 WSOP Event #31: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better drew 480 players who built a prize pool of $1,310,400. Fifty-four spots will get paid and a min-cash is worth $5,071. As usual, everyone is looking for gold and the first place prize of $301,413.

John Gale, Shaun Deeb, and Brian Hastings scored 2015 WSOP gold but didn’t get through Day 1. Other stars that didn’t bag and tag for Day 2 were Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Joe Hachem .

By the time 10 levels were finished it appeared three-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen took the chip lead with Doug Polk right behind and other notables Robert Mizrachi, Tom Schneider, Shawn Buchanan, and Mike Watson were close enough to be trouble for everyone fighting the chip wars.

A total of 133 survived the day and will return for Day 2 Monday beginning at 2 p.m. local time.
